my own endless night

you all know i love wen qing to pieces but i can't stop thinking about how fucking Great she could've been if mxtx liked women. wen qing could've even kept the same arc she had in the story like could've still lived and died the same way and hit all the same beats but imagine her being bitter...... imagine her being angry........ imagine if uncle four had taken up the mantle as head of the dafan wen, freeing wen qing from the pseudo motherhood shackles....... imagine her taking a more gorily active role in wen nings resurrection....... imagine wwx and wen qing crazy witch doctor besties........... imgaine wen qing picking up a sword against the jin.....???? imagine them having to Drag Her out of the burial mounds!!!!!!! like!!!!!!!! do you understand!!!!!!!!!!! this show is missing at LEAST one angry woman who turns that anger outward rather than inward and wen qing is the best fucking candidate i want her furious i want her screaming and torturing people i want her doing weird experiments on living and undead subjects and not even feeling bad about it i want her EVIL

youre def right i fully forgot about her lmaoooo but yes i agree there should be more than one, in fact lets bump up the kill count of every woman in the story (except perhaps yanli and qin su because i feel like their misogyny shackles are shaped different but thats like a whole other thing)

actually yes you are so right the kill count of every woman in the story SHOULD go up. mianmian is my front contender and personally I think she should have been the one to get to kill jin guangshan (yes this does not work in anyway whatsoever with canon) (no i don't care she should get to do it)

NO U KNOW WHAT I WANT FOR MIAMMIAN??????????????? I WANTED FOR HER TO HELP JC HUNT FOR WWX I WANT HER TO STAB HIM LIKE JIN LING DID I WANT HER TO HATE HIM??????????? WHY DID SHE NOT HATE HIM I DON'T UNDERSTAND LIKE. HE'S THE REASON SHE NEVER GOT TO SAY GOODBYE TO HER BEST FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!

I'm hearing you I do hear you. I do not agree but I definitely get where you're coming from. I think, if I had to say why she didn't hate him, it's because I think she never truly did believe that wwx did it. like a pretty big part of her character in the first half was standing up to jin guangshan and jin zixun to defend wwx and so when she finds out jin zixuan is dead bc of wwx and she's not even INVOLVED in the cultivation world anymore mind you. I don't think she believed it and blamed him the way jc blames wwx. and that may have to do with the fact that she probably does not put much stock in what the cultivation world says. that's just if you asked me tho

listennnnnn im not fussed about canon atp because i think it would be impossible to create the rep that im looking for within the bounds that mxtx made, like i don't think what i said about wen qing would work with the way she was characterized in canon either but! i want it anyway! ig what im trying to get at is that mianmian had the set up for an analagous stake in jxz's death compared to jc and if she had been a man then mxtx would have let her play it out but instead she wrote mianmian out of the narrative to prevent even one (1) woman being shown angry and also powerful enough to do something with that anger

grocery store mission barely accomplished took massive damage to the hull and all internal systems. shield repair could take days

loveeee characters who think they're likable but not lovable. characters who know they have surface-level admirable or alluring traits and so make sure to highlight those traits so that nobody looks closer to see what's underneath. characters who know they're hot or clever or cool and use that as a suit of armor so that no one ever gets close to them, because when they strip bare and show their vulnerability they're not any of those things, which means they have nothing left to make up for who they inherently are

everyone eat more vegetables NOW!!! and mention the last vegetable you ate in the tags so we're all on the buddy system. I'll start: bok choy
